Assessing farmer preferences for adoption of nature-positive interventions: Which technologies and at what cost?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/180771
Abstract
A choice experiment with 120 farmers in northern Vietnam assessed preferences for adopting nature positive farming practices. In more than 99% of choices, farmers favoured adopting nature-positive practices over the current situation. Farmers showed the highest willingness to pay for practices that reduce need for chemical inputs or labour requirements, and provide reliable…

From project support to institutional ownership of climate services
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/182291
Abstract
The ECREA project is transforming how climate services operate in East Africa by shifting the system from isolated, technical forecasting to a coordinated public service model where meteorological agencies and agricultural institutions jointly produce and deliver climate information that farmers can understand, trust, and use to improve their seasonal decisions.

Data - A major FT/TFL1 regulatory locus (Meflwr13) controls flowering time in cassava and provides validated markers for accelerated breeding
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/182305
Abstract
Flowering in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is crucial for botanical seed production in breeding programs, but genetic improvement is severely hindered by highly variable, late, or absent flowering in many farmerpreferred genotypes. This challenge prolongs breeding cycles and necessitates costly, labor-intensive flower induction technologies. To…

Kenya soil health data
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/182304
Abstract
This dataset contains soil health data set from multiple agronomic trials conducted in different regions in Kenya. It captures information on crop yield responses to cropping systems, field management practices, fertilizer regimes, manure, crop residues, and lime, across different agro-ecological conditions, seasons, and years. The data is suitable for soil health related analysis, yield modelling, and evaluation of sustainable land management practices.
